Bill Belichick, the legendary former head coach of the New England Patriots, is gaining more attention for his personal life than his cunning on the football field. The 72-year-old NFL icon Bill Belichick is allegedly dating 24-year-old former competitive cheerleader Jordan Hudson, according to a TMZ story.
Who is Jordon Hudson?
Rumor has it that 24-year-old Jordon Hudson, a former competitive cheerleader, is dating former New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick. According to reports, the two connected over a philosophy project Hudson worked on when they first met in 2021 on a trip from the Boston region to Florida. Even though Belichick was then involved in a long-term relationship with Linda Holliday, the two finally became closer when Belichick and Holliday split up in 2022.
Given the stark age difference between the two, the media paid close attention to the reports of their connection. However, neither Belichick nor Hudson has acknowledged the connection in public, and they have both shied away from discussing specifics of their private lives.
Although there has been no official confirmation, the reports have generated a lot of curiosity and conjecture among media outlets and fans. Belichick’s personal life and ability to manage his obligations to his personal and professional lives have come under scrutiny due to the connection.
Bill Belichick is a public character; Jordan Hudson is not. Up until now, she has been able to maintain a low profile.
Collegiate Cheerleader Career:
At Bridgewater State University in Massachusetts, Hudson was a fierce cheerleader who helped the team win a national championship title in 2021.
She shared the life-changing benefits of cheerleading on National Girls & Women in Sports Day in February.
She added, “I’d like to put out how grateful I am for the sport that brought me lifelong friends, engrained resilience, discipline, and punctuality into my bones (thanks J$), and kept me anchored through difficult seasons of adolescence and young adulthood.”
But she also expressed gratitude to all of “the medical professionals” who assisted her “in neurological damage rehabilitation as a result of repetitive concussions.” In May 2022, she earned her bachelor’s degree in philosophy from BSU.
Belichick was a competitor in the March 2024 Coastal in The Capitol Cheer and Dance event in Maryland, indicating that she continued participating in the sport after graduating.
Beauty School Graduate:
Hudson finished his cosmetology training at the New England Hair Academy (NEHA) while still enrolled at BSU. According to her LinkedIn, she worked as a henna tattoo artist after graduating from beauty school in November 2019.
Her expertise in hair and cosmetics has been helpful for her pageant job. Hudson participated in the Miss Maine USA pageant in March 2024. She came in second place behind Anne Baldridge.
Hanco*ck was a seaside community with less than 3,000 residents at the time, and the New England native represented it. In February 2021, she was also given the Pageantry Spirit Award at the Miss US of America Pageant.
Nature Lover:
One glance at Hudson’s Instagram account reveals her obsession with all things natural. Her pictures show she is a “Glamorous Girl Scout” and a “Bird-er,” as stated in her bio.
Hudon’s Instagram page is overflowing with pictures of her posing with various birds and from her trips to other parts of the world, including Germany, Croatia, Costa Rica, and more.
Mango, the parrot she had, was her “goofy, cuddly and colorful feathered bestie,” according to her description. But Mango passed away in April 2022.
How did Bill Belichick and Jordon Hudson Meet?
Belichick and Hudson’s love story started on a trip from the Boston region to Florida in 2021. The two struck up a discussion when Hudson, a student-athlete at the time, mentioned that he was working on a philosophy project. They kept in touch, exchanging contact details and discussing Hudson’s cheerleading routines and studies in the following months.
Their relationship remained cordial until Belichick called it quits on his long-term engagement with Linda Holliday during the 2022 NFL season. Belichick’s friendship with Hudson became a love connection shortly after he and his wife split up. The 48-year age gap did not stop the pair from becoming closer and spending more time together.
Belichick and Hudson were secretive about their connection at first. Seldom were they spotted together in public. In the off-seasons of ’22 and ’23, Hudson subtly cheered Belichick on at Gillette Stadium. Their tact allowed them to keep a low profile and escape the media circus surrounding high-profile partnerships.
After leading the Patriots as head coach for 23 seasons, Belichick and the team mutually decided to separate ways in January 2024.
After several years of their covert liaison, Belichick and Hudson disclosed their connection to the world. Belichick was seen supporting Hudson at a cheerleading competition in March 2024. Later, they were spotted together in Croatia while on a business trip. When Hudson and Belichick attended Tom Brady’s Patriots Hall of Fame induction ceremony, their bond became more apparent.
The friendship is generally known among Belichick and Hudson’s close friends. Even Belichick’s close friend Rob Gronkowski made light of the pair at Tom Brady’s Netflix roast, The Roast of Tom Brady.
Bill Belichick and Jordan Hudson have a relationship based on mutual respect and connection. It began with a fortuitous encounter on a plane and has grown into a strong collaboration in their personal and professional lives.
Public Reactions and Future Plans:
Reactions to the announcement of Belichick’s new connection have been conflicting. While some fans are more interested in his departure from the Patriots, others are taken aback by the age difference. Belichick has kept his personal life private and refrained from commenting publicly about his connection with Hudson.
Additionally, Hudson, a former competitive cheerleader, has kept their connection a secret. However, her participation in the cheerleading competition and Patriots games indicates that she is a big part of Belichick’s life.
Uncertainty surrounds Belichick’s future intentions. Despite not having disclosed any new coaching positions, his lengthy NFL experience raises the possibility that he may be active in some form. He is enjoying his time off the field for the time being, concentrating on his personal life and his new romance.
What’s Next for Belichick and Hudson?
It is unclear how public their connection will go as Belichick and Hudson continue to work out the kinks. Their recent public appearances show they are becoming more at ease with disclosing their connection to the public. Fans and the media will be following their narrative as it develops.
Belichick’s new relationship and exit from the Patriots significantly change his life. Being among the most prosperous NFL coaches in history, his personal and professional actions will never go unnoticed. Belichick is now welcoming a new phase in his personal and professional life.
